Anzara has agreed to an artist talk when she returns to tell us all about her experiences in Japan. Posted @withregram • @anzaraclarkartist Washing Washi. Yes that is correct. Washi that has been treated in special ways can be washed and hung up to dry without damage to the washi. It feels a bit like chamois when wet. I was privileged to see this today along with beautiful kamiko artefacts and exquisite Shifu by Senoo san. All at Kami No Sato.

We have some very talented members, evidenced by a workshop run for us on the weekend by member Lyn Nicholls on aluminium etching. Some beautiful results from all participants. Posted @withregram • @linda.gwen100 Had an enjoyable time @papermakers_of_victoria workshop with Lyn Nicholls learning Aluminium Plate etching. Lyn was a great tutor. The participants created some terrific plates and prints. I will be using this technique further once I experiment a bit more with the possibilities ............#papermakers #papermaker #paper #papermakersofvictoria #learntomakepaper #recyclepaper #handmade-paper #papermaking #handmade #papercrafts #melbourne #papermaker #paperartist #paperartists #paperart #welovepaper #handcrafted #printmaking #prints #etching

WORKSHOP - Colour and Composition Sydney Artist,

WORKSHOP - Colour and CompositionSydney Artist, Claire Brach, will lead us into the wonderful world of colour where we will discover what we like, what we don’t like and how colours react together. We will explore how colours affect perceptions of art and how to pick what works and what doesn’t in our own practice.We will look at composition in art and how to create works that fulfill a range of outcomes. Perhaps your interest lies in creating designs with repeating patterns, or pieces with specific focal points, or dynamic abstraction. You will get the opportunity to explore all this and build your own range of unique small samples.No previous experience required, just an interest in exploration.Date: Sunday 3rd March, 2024 (10am-4pm)Tutor: Claire BrachLocation: Bundoora ParkCost: $100 Members, $130 Non-membersBookings and more info via our website https://papermakers.org.au/workshop/creative-colour-composition/ .............#papermakers #papermaker #paper #papermakersofvictoria #learntomakepaper #recycle #recyclepaper #handmadepaper #papermaking #handmade #papercrafts #melbourne #pulp #mouldanddeckle #papermaker #paperartist #paperartists #paperart #welovepaper #handcrafted #workshop #colour #composition #design

Sharing some beautiful work by Gail. Posted @withregram • @gail_stiffe_books_paper This week's paper. Only details from "2182", the piece that I've submitted to the blarney books @blarneybooksandart Biblio art prize. The full piece is long and narrow. Also used up some of the coloured pulps by adding glitter that might end up in my Christmas cards. Made some paper beads with the yabbers group inspired by a meeting with Claudia Lee @libertypapermaking the previous month.My work "2181" is inspired by one scene from "The Hummingbird Effect," by Kate Mildenhall @kmildenhall where young girls explore a city submerged due to rising sea levels. As a paper artist with many years of experience, I often return to painting with dyed paper pulp. Paper, being a watery substance in its creation, suits this watery scene. I craft intricate landscapes using dyed paper pulp to capture the fluidity of nature and the fragility of our environment. My art aims to evoke wonder, reflection, and hope, encouraging viewers to connect with the themes of transformation and adaptation. It reflects the beauty of art in the face of change, just as the submerged city does .............#papermakers #papermaker #paper #papermakersofvictoria #learntomakepaper #recycle #recyclepaper #handmadepaper #papermaking #handmade #papercrafts #melbourne #pulp #mouldanddeckle #papermaker #paperartist #paperartists #paperart #welovepaper #handcrafted #decklededge #decklededgepaper #deckleedgedpaper #plantbased #plantfibre #plantfiber @iapma @primrosepaperart #pulppainting

Gail and Leanne attended the opening of @anzaraclarkartist 's exhibition Where the Light Enters. Anzara "explores the idea that wounds, cracks and brokenness allow light to penetrate spaces that would otherwise remain hidden, invisible and unaddressed." The exhibition is on until December 3rd and admission is free.............#papermakers #papermaker #paper #papermakersofvictoria #learntomakepaper #recycle #recyclepaper #handmadepaper #papermaking #handmade #papercrafts #melbourne #pulp #mouldanddeckle #papermaker #paperartist #paperartists #paperart #welovepaper #handcrafted #decklededge #decklededgepaper #deckleedgedpaper #plantbased #plantfibre #plantfiber #wearableart #momigami #joomchi #paperartexhibition @iapma @primrosepaperart

Posted @withregram • @dodgy.paper WASTE OF SPACE

Posted @withregram • @dodgy.paper WASTE OF SPACE : EXHIBITION A showcase of art and materials made from waste // Over the past month, we extended invitations to more than 30 talented artists for a special project at Alleyoop Waste of Space, Space of Waste. Our aim was to create a personalised batch of recycled Dodgy Paper and a unique Lousy Ink colour. Each artist was requested to bring paper waste with them to transform into a fresh batch of recycled paper right in our Dodgy Office. Guided by The Pulp Professor, they delved into the paper-making process, actively crafting the sheets that would later become the centrepiece of our exhibition. Following their paper-making adventure, our artists ventured into the Lousy Lab, where they collaborated with Oli, our Lousy Technician, to concoct a one-of-a-kind ink colour using recycled printer cartridge materials. With freshly crafted paper and a unique ink hue in hand, the artists were tasked with creating original artworks on their sheets, utilising the colours they had formulated. These artworks made from waste will be showcased alongside their custom Lousy Ink Color and Dodgy Paper Batch, all of which will be available for purchase during our upcoming event.Join us on Friday the 6th of October from 6pm - 9pm for the exhibition opening! We’ll be open for viewing on Sat & Sun 7th-8th from 10am-4pmDrinks provided by @wonki.au and @drink_bobby Alleyoop Waste of Space, Space of Waste //30 Stephenson St. Cremorne, VIC 3121@alleyoop.world @lousy.ink @dodgy.paper@drink_bobby @wonki.au @the_taboo_group #papermakers #papermaker #paper #papermakersofvictoria #learntomakepaper #recycle #recyclepaper #handmadepaper #papermaking #handmade #papercrafts #melbourne #pulp #mouldanddeckle #papermaker #paperartist #paperartists #paperart #welovepaper #handcrafted #decklededge #decklededgepaper #deckleedgedpaper #plantbased #plantfibre #plantfiber #paperexhibition

This looks like an exhibition not to missed so if you’re local mark this one in your calendar and support PoV members Daphne and Jake. Posted @withregram • @dnj_paper White paper coat made of paper containing diatomaceous earth (ancient fossilized skeletons of tiny sea creatures) photographed for our exhibition "Kamiko: Five Paper Coats". Where@craftvictoriaWatson PlaceWurundjeri CountryMelbourne VIC 3000WhenSeptember 14, 2023, 11:00 AM — October 28, 2023, 5:00 PMOpening event September 28thThe forms of paper that surround us — smooth, white, easily torn and weak to water — are typically made from the flattened, bleached fibers of wood pulp. Kamiko: Five Paper Coats is a sequence of five jackets assembled from sheets of wrinkled handmade Japanese washi paper sourced from workshops in Kurotani, Mino and the Noto peninsula that show very different material possibilities of paper. These five garments, designed and created by DNJ Paper in Melbourne, are made of five unique papers; a paper that includes clay and diatomaceous earth, cedar bark paper, eucalyptus-dyed paper, traditional paper cloth treated with konnyaku jelly, and lace paper. These garments express the potential of paper when used as an alternative to conventional cloth.Drawing on an endangered historical practice, these garments express the potential of paper, and act as a proposition for new relationships with materials and clothing.Kamiko: Five Paper Coats is presented as part of Craft Contemporary 2023 – Craft Victoria's annual festival celebrating craft practice.Photographer: C.Paper: Nōto Nigyo Washi, Nōto Peninsula, Japan .............#papermakers #papermaker #paper #papermakersofvictoria #learntomakepaper #recycle #recyclepaper #handmadepaper #papermaking #handmade #papercrafts #melbourne #pulp #mouldanddeckle #papermaker #paperartist #paperartists #paperart #welovepaper #handcrafted #decklededge #decklededgepaper #deckleedgedpaper #plantbased #plantfibre #plantfiber @iapma #exhibition #artexhibition @primrosepaperart

Pictured here are my pages from the book, an artist book I made many years ago called Discards and two samples in progress.
